When we meet people for the first time, we often make decisions about them based entirely on

how they look And of course, we too are being judged on our appearance Undoubtedly, it’s

what’s inside that’s important but sometimes we can send out the wrong signals and so get a negative reaction, simply by wearing inappropriate clothing

When selecting your clothes each day, it is therefore important to think about who you’re likely to meet, where you are going to be spending most of your time and what tasks you are likely to perform Clearly, on a practical level, some outfits will be more appropriate to different sorts of activity and this will dictate your choice to an extent However, there’s no need to abandon your

individual taste completely After all, if you dress to please somebody else’s idea of what looks good, you may end up feeling uncomfortable and not quite yourself

Some colours bring your natural colouring to life and others can give you a washed-out

appearance Try out new ones by all means, but remember that dressing in bright colours when you really like subtle neutral tones or vice versa will make you feel self-conscious and uncomfortable You know deep down where your own taste boundaries lie It may be fun to cross these sometimes, but do take care not to go too far all at once

Reappraising your image isn’t selfish because everyone who comes into contact with you will benefit You’ll look better and you’ll feel a better person all round And if in doubt, you only need

to read Professor Albert Mehrabian’s book Silent Messages, which showed that the impact we make on each other depends 55 percent on how we look and behave, 38 percent on how we speak, and only seven percent on what we actually say

Question 31: Which could be the best title for the passage?

A Choosing Appropriate Business Suits

B Making Judgements about People’s Appearance

C Making Your Image Work for You

D Creating a Professional Image

Question 32: The word “undoubtedly” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _

A doubtfully B unquestionably C uncertainly D deniably

Question 33: According to paragraph 1, people can get a negative reaction from others by

_

A talking about other people’s behaviours

B sending out right signals

C wearing inappropriate clothes

D expressing too strong emotions

Question 34: Which of the following is NOT mentioned in paragraph 2 as a factor to be

considered when choosing clothes?

A Places you spend time in B Other people’s views on beauty

C Kinds of tasks you perform D People you meet

Question 35: The word “others” in paragraph 3 refers to _

A neutral tones B taste boundaries C colours D means

We are descendents of the ice age Periods of glaciations have spanned the whole of human existence for the past 2 million years The rapid melting of the continental glaciers at the end of the last ice age spurred one of the most dramatic climate changes in the history of the planet During this interglacial time, people were caught up in a cataclysm of human accomplishment, including the development of agriculture and animal husbandry Over the past few thousand

years, the Earth’s climate has been extraordinarily beneficial, and humans have prospered

exceedingly well under a benign atmosphere

Ice ages have dramatically affected life on Earth almost from the very beginning It is even possible that life itself significantly changed the climate All living organisms pull carbon dioxide

out of the atmosphere and eventually store it in sedimentary rocks within the Earth’s crust If too much carbon dioxide is lost, too much heat escapes out into the atmosphere This can cause the Earth to cool enough for glacial ice to spread across the land

In general the reduction of the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has been equalized by the input of carbon dioxide from such events as volcanic eruptions Man, however, is upsetting the equation by burning fossil fuels and destroying tropical rain forests, both of which release

stored carbon dioxide This energizes the greenhouse effect and causes the Earth to warm If

the warming is significant enough, the polar ice caps eventually melt

The polar ice caps drive the atmospheric and oceanic circulation systems Should the ice caps

melt, warm tropical waters could circle the globe and make this a very warm, inhospitable planet

Over the past century, the global sea level has apparently risen upwards of 6 inches, mainly because of the melting of glacial ice If present warming trends continue, the seas could rise as much as 6 feet by the next century This could flood coastal cities and fertile river deltas, where half the human population lives Delicate wetlands, where many marine species breed, also would be reclaimed by the sea In addition, more frequent and severe storms would batter coastal areas, adding to the disaster of the higher seas

The continued melting of the great ice sheets in polar regions could cause massive amounts of ice to crash into the ocean This would further raise the sea level and release more ice, which could more than double the area of sea ice and increase correspondingly the amount of sunlight reflected back into space The cycle would then be complete as this could cause global temperatures to drop enough to initiate another ice age

Question 36 What is the main topic of the passage?

A The possibility that the popular ice caps will melt

B Man’s effect on the carbon dioxide level in the atmosphere

C The climate of the Earth over the years

D The coming of another ice age

Question 37 According to the passage, carbon dioxide is stored in each of the following

EXCEPT

A sedimentary rocks B polar ice caps C rain forests D fossil fuel

Question 38 According to the passage, what is the relationship between carbon dioxide and the

Earth’s climate?

A Carbon dioxide, which is trapped in glacial ice, is released when warm temperatures cause

the ice melt

B An increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide results in the warming of the climate

C The greenhouse effect, which leads to the warming of the climate, is result of too much carbon

stored in the Earth’s crust

D Rain causes carbon dioxide to be washed out of the atmosphere and into the ocean

Question 39 The word "beneficial" in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to

A calm B inviting C thoughtful D favorable

Question 40 It can be inferred from the passage that the development of agriculture

A preceded the development of animal husbandry

B withstood vast changes in the Earth’s climate

C did not take place during an ice age

D was unaffected by the greenhouse effect

Question 41 The word “this” in the third paragraph refers to

A man’s upsetting the equation

B the melting of the polar ice caps

C a volcanic eruption

D the reduction of the level of carbon dioxide

Question 42 The word “inhospitable” in the fourth paragraph is closest in meaning to

indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 41 to 50

Psychologists are interested in the reasons why some people like taking part in risky sports When they studied people who were learning to jump from a plane with a parachute, they found that parachutists’ bodies produced large amounts of two hormones, adrenaline and nor adrenaline, just before they made their jump

These hormones help to prepare us for any sudden activity Adrenaline increases the heart rate and provides more sugar for the muscles, while nor does adrenaline make us react more quickly However, nor adrenaline also stimulates apart of the brain which controls feelings of pleasure Some psychologists have concluded that it is a feeling of pleasure caused by this hormone which makes certain people want to participate in dangerous sports

Another possible reason is the level of arousal in part of the brain According to some psychologists, the brain tries to maintain a certain level of arousal They believe that people who normally have a low level of arousal look for excitement and new experiences in order to stimulate themselves, whereas people who usually have a high level of arousal try to avoid risks and unfamiliar situations in order not to become overexcited If the psychologists are right, people with a low arousal are the ones who enjoy participating in dangerous sports and activities

It is thought that people with low levels of arousal have a slower-reacting nervous system than people with higher arousal levels It may therefore be possible to find out your level of arousal

by testing your nervous system A quick way of doing this is to put some lemon juice on your tongue If you produce a lot of saliva, your nervous system has been affected by the lemon and

so you probably have a high level of arousal; if you produce little of saliva, you probably have a low arousal level If you have a low level, you might enjoy taking part in risky sports However, this does not mean that you have to try parachuting!

Question 41: Why did the parachutists’ bodies produce a lot of adrenaline and nor adrenaline before they jumped from a plane?

A This is a natural reaction which helps to prepare one for sudden activity

B Because they had high arousal levels

C It is a natural reaction which guards them against the effects of accidents

D Because they had taken drugs which led to the production of these two hormones

Question 42: What two possible reasons are given for some people’s desire to participate in dangerous sports?

A A lack of common sense, and a high level of arousal

B A low level of arousal, and an inborn desire for adventure

C The pleasure that results from the production of nor adrenaline, and a low level of arousal

D A desire to show off, and a lack of common sense

Question 43: What does the brain try to maintain, according to some psychologists?

A Because they already have the level of excitement which the brain tries to maintain

B Because they are more aware of the dangers involved

C Because they already have enough of the two hormones, adrenaline and nor adrenaline

D Because they would not be able to cope with accidents

Question 45: What is shown by putting lemon juice on your tongue?

A It shows that you have a high level of arousal if no saliva is produced

B It indicates your level of arousal by amount of saliva that is produced

C It can indicate whether your saliva is more acidic or more alkaline

D It is a good test of your sense of taste

Question 46: What kinds of substances are adrenaline and nor adrenaline?

A Subatomic particles

B Minerals

Question 48: Which of the following does adrenaline do?

A It weakens the muscles

B It makes people afraid

C It makes the heart beat more quickly

D It makes the heart beat more slowly

Question 49: Where were the parachutists when, according to the passage, they produced large amount of the two hormones?

A People who do not like lemon juice

B People who have a low hormone content

C People who normally have a low level of arousal

D People who normally have a high level of arousal
